Radioiodinated anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ferritin Targeting therapy,tumor imaging and anti-antibody response in HCC patients with hepatic arterial infusion

Summary Radioimmunoimaging and radioimmunotherapy with radioiodinated anti-(hepatocellular carcinoma ferritin) antibody (¹³¹I-or¹²⁵I-FtAb) have been applied in patients with primary liver cancer. A total of 41 patients with surgically unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and receiving hepatic artery ligation and cannulation during exploratory laparotomy were treated with this regimen by intrahepatic arterial infusion. Compared with the control group, a decline of serum -fetoprotein (65.7% versus 42.9%) and shrinkage of tumor (68.3% versus 33.9%) were observed in the treated group, and a higher second-look resection rate (31.7% versus 5.1%) and longer survival (1-year: 61.0% versus 37.3%, 3-year: 25.0% versus 6.9%) resulted. The administration of antibody through a hepatic arterial catheter (n=16) was compared with intravenous injection (n-17) in terms of the tumor-imaging sensitivity in 33 patients with liver cancer. The results indicated that hepatic arterial infusion was superior to intravenous injection. The sensitivity 7 days after the administration was 100% in the i.a. group and 76.5% in the i.v. group, the uptake ratio of tumor to liver being 1.74±0.57 in the former and 1.34±0.29 in the latter. Furthermore, intrahepatic arterial infusion revealed a lower anti-antibody detection rate than intravenous injection (0/14 versus 4/11).Abbreviations AFP -tetoprotein - FtAb ferritin antibody     

一氧化氮在心房颤动的应用

一氧化氮(nitricoxide,NO)作为一种新型信使分子,参与机体多种生理和病理过程,在心血管系统同样具有重要意义。心房颤动是一种常见的心律失常,机体发生特殊的病理生理变化,影响NO及相关产物表达和活性发挥;而NO的这些变化又对心房颤动中血栓的形成以及结构和功能重构都发挥重要作用。

急性心力衰竭患儿血浆脑钠素变化及意义

为探讨急性心力衰竭患儿血浆脑钠素(BNP)的变化及其与心功能的关系,随机选取不同病因的充血性心力衰竭(CHF)患儿46例作为观察组,另选择肺炎患儿40例、先天性心脏病患儿31例、健康儿40例作对照组;所有病例均采用酶联免疫吸附法分别检测血浆BNP,心力衰竭患儿在心衰期和恢复期用多普勒超声测量心脏指数(CI)及左室射血分数(LVEF)。结果显示,CHF患儿心衰早期BNP即开始升高,心衰期达高峰,恢复期渐下降,但仍高于对照组(P<0.001);心衰时心脏CI、LVEF值均明显下降(P<0.01);CHF患儿心衰时升高的BNP水平与CI、LVEF呈负相关(P<0.05)。表明CHF患儿血BNP水平明显升高,且与心衰程度关系密切。     

Upregulation of alveolar epithelial active Na+ transport is dependent on beta2-adrenergic receptor signaling

Alveolar epithelial beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) activation accelerates active Na+ transport in lung epithelial cells in vitro and speeds alveolar edema resolution in human lung tissue and normal and injured animal lungs. Whether these receptors are essential for alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) or if other mechanisms are sufficient to regulate active transport is unknown. In this study, we report that mice with no beta1- or beta2-adrenergic receptors (beta1AR-/-/beta2AR-/-) have reduced distal lung Na,K-ATPase function and diminished basal and amiloride-sensitive AFC. Total lung water content in these animals was not different from wild-type controls, suggesting that betaAR signaling may not be required for alveolar fluid homeostasis in uninjured lungs. Comparison of isoproterenol-sensitive AFC in mice with beta1- but not beta2-adrenergic receptors to beta1AR-/-/beta2AR-/- mice indicates that the beta2AR mediates the bulk of beta-adrenergic-sensitive alveolar active Na+ transport. To test the necessity of betaAR signaling in acute lung injury, beta1AR-/-/beta2AR-/-, beta1AR+/+/beta2AR-/-, and beta1AR+/+/beta2AR+/+ mice were exposed to 100% oxygen for up to 204 hours. beta1AR-/-/beta2AR-/- and beta1AR+/+/beta2AR-/- mice had more lung water and worse survival from this form of acute lung injury than wild-type controls. Adenoviral-mediated rescue of beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) function into the alveolar epithelium of beta1AR-/-/beta2AR-/- and beta1AR+/+/beta2AR-/- mice normalized distal lung beta2AR function, alveolar epithelial active Na+ transport, and survival from hyperoxia. These findings indicate that betaAR signaling may not be necessary for basal AFC, and that beta2AR is essential for the adaptive physiological response needed to clear excess fluid from the alveolar airspace of normal and injured lungs.     

Pulmonary artery diastolic pressure: a simultaneous Doppler echocardiography and catheterization study

Pulmonary hypertension is an important determinant of the clinical presentation of and surgical approach to patients with heart disease. To confirm the utility of continuous wave Doppler echocardiography in assessing the pulmonary artery diastolic pressure in patients with pulmonary regurgitation, 51 patients representing the wide hemodynamic spectrum of pulmonary artery pressure underwent simultaneous determination of pulmonary artery diastolic pressure by continuous wave Doppler echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Pulmonary artery diastolic pressure was estimated from the Doppler recordings by the end-diastolic pressure gradient obtained by the modified Bernoulli equation plus the estimated right atrial pressure. A correlation was observed (r = 0.935, SEE = 7.4 mmHg) between Doppler and catheterization pulmonary artery diastolic pressure. In addition, comparison between the mean diastolic pressure gradient across the pulmonary valve by Doppler and pulmonary artery diastolic pressure at catheterization yielded a high correlation (r = 0.947, SEE = 5.1 mmHg). These data demonstrate that continuous wave Doppler echocardiography is a useful noninvasive technique for evaluating the pulmonary artery diastolic pressure in patients with pulmonary regurgitation.     

Rickettsial and serologic evidence for prevalent spotted fever rickettsiosis in inner Mongolia

A field study in northeastern Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China, in June of 1985 demonstrated a spotted fever group rickettsiosis. Two strains of spotted fever group rickettsiae were isolated. One strain was obtained from the blood of a patient with an eschar, regional lymphadenopathy, and history of a recent tick bite. The other strain originated from ova of ticks, Dermacentor nuttalli. These represent the second isolate of a spotted fever group rickettsia from a human and the first isolate from tick ova in the People's Republic of China. Antibodies to these rickettsiae were demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence in the sera of 4% of healthy children and 34% of healthy human adults, in 58% of sheep, and in 76% of cattle in the same location. Hemolymph test revealed rickettsiae in 6 of 36 D. nuttalli examined.
